Lighter Latkes
Healthy Holiday Recipe
Keep the tradition, but not the fat and calories, by baking them. The potato pancakes, or latkes, eaten during Hanukkah are usually fried in oil.
Ingredients and instructions:
Prepare your favorite recipe, but substitute one egg white for each of the whole eggs.
|
Be sure to use baking potatoes instead of boiling potatoes.
Brush a baking sheet with a scant teaspoon of oil.
Drop the latke batter onto the sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.
Turn and bake 6 minutes longer or until crisp.
Note:
Fresh homemade applesauce spiced with fragrant ground cinnamon makes the perfect side dish.
Latkes are crisp fried Jewish potato pancakes, with eggs, onion, matzo meal and seasonings. Latkes are usually served with applesauce and sour cream. Latkes were supposedly served by the wives of the Maccabees to their husbands as they prepared to drive the ancient Syrians from their land. Latkes are eaten during Chanukah, the Feast of Lights, to commemorate the victory.
